i don't mean to imply that most people make a hobby of hurting other people, or find pleasure in it
just that taking out our daily angers and frustrations on others (possibly real others, possibly imagined others) is a common cathartic response to stress
― the late great, Friday, 10 January 2014 18:55 (ten years ago) link
maybe "find occasional catharsis in hurting other people" is a better way to put it than "enjoy"
fer sure, but then there are plenty actual sadistic psychopaths out there too

which i think is an important distinction
xxpost noodle vague is it maybe a little weird to draw a hard line between foucault and marx? i mean foucault pretty much = marx + sade / nietzsche. point is taken that discourse theory is more properly "post-Marxist," but no Foucault w/out Marx so.

i guess at the time i was trying to make a point about engaging in privilege discourse without subscribing to Marxist political beliefs - "Marxian" rather than "Marxist" for want of a more established distinction but sure i take your point.
fact is, not all critics of privilege are critiquing all systems of power and to conflate all struggles to the struggle feels a bit like a privileged, totalizing dick move to me

yeah and its good for arguing but not for nuance, its simultaneously very id-y and intellectual which is just a weird combo

The phrase, handed down by my moral superiors, descends recklessly, like an Obama-sanctioned drone, and aims laser-like at my pinkish-peach complexion, my maleness, and the nerve I displayed in offering an opinion rooted in a personal Weltanschauung.

All the attention he has received since then has been somewhat surprising, Mr. Fortgang said, adding that he was not always happy with the kind of people who have rallied around him.“I am sure there are some really racist white supremacists who point to me as a hero on the college campus,” he said. “That is not me. I don’t have a racist bone in my body.”

College is about the only time for anyone is going to tell this guy to "check his privilege" unless he, like, decides to attend occupy meetings or actively seeks out leftist bloggers. So it's especially whiny and shortsighted. His checkbox multicultural lit class may involve a lot of privilege checking, but his privilege will be toasted rather than checked for most of the rest of his life.

the generational piggybacking is pretty weak also -- grandson of survivors/son of cuny-system grad is really not the equivalent of a disadvantage in the contemporary world.

i have heard 'check your privilege' once in a year of teaching ivy league seminars and the idea that there is too much introspection on this in the student body is lol

what i don't get is if he's sincere why doesn't he have access to a smart princeton friend who could have pointed out he doesn't even understand the concept of privilege that is being used against him, did he just fire that puppy off to 'the tory' w/o double-checking or what
